I've yet to do these and Ive been wanting to. I also just have such a different take on their relationship and wanted to share because a!spec Dinostar has become my second favorite ship and I really love that they confirmed Darius as Aromantic and didnt give Dinostar a traditional romance because their third thing is so dear to me.
AroAce Darius x BiAce Brooklynn
They are in every sense of the word Best Friends
Darius has a lecture about dinosaurs, Brooklynn is sitting in the front row. Darius helps rebuild BioSyn Valley to a Sancuary, Brooklynn is right there helping him. Brooklynn is adjusting to normal life, Darius is right there keeping her grounded. Brooklynn is trying to customize her prostetic to add a jetpack.... Darius is calming standing beside her with a fire extinguisher.
SexRepulsed!Darius and SexNeutral!Brooklynn their relationship is sexless
While the other N6 start having kids, Brooklynn and Darius are living that duel income no kids life.
They travel the most out of the N6, so their nieces and nephews always get cool gifts from Aunt Brooklynn and Uncle Darius.
Brooklynn does like romantic gestures sometimes, Darius does little things like buy her flowers or grab her favorite coffee when hes out because he knows she likes them.
Darius learns to cook some of Brooklynn's favorite foods, hes not great in the kitchen but he has passable skills.
Will sometimes FaceTime Yaz or Sammy for cooking help to surprise Brooklynn with dinner.
Darius isn't a romantic guy but he sometimes really enjoys small romantic gestures like making dinner or buying Brooklynn flowers for no reason.
Brooklynn understands Darius doesnt do romance that much, but will go out of her way to find cool dinosaur facts or read new dinosaur articles to talk about with Darius over dinner.
Brooklynn has a Keychain collection with dorky tourist keychains from all the places her and Darius have been.
Touch isn't a huge component of their relationship, both of them have Quality Time as their main love language and they just love being around each other even if they're just sitting in a room working on two different things.
They hold hands sometimes, Brooklynn is a gremlin and sometimes disconnects her prostetic if Darius is on that side to see how long it takes him to notice.
If hes talking about dinosaurs, it could be an hour.
They also will cuddle, fall asleep on each other, ect.
They technically have separate bedrooms in their apartment (I headcannon they have an apartment in Colorado while they also stay at Darius's Cabin occasionally) because of their vastly different sleep schedules, but they will 100% build a giant pillow fort in the main room and binge movies until they crash.
Brooklynn will also announce that that their having a sleepover and sleep in Darius's room. She takes up 3/4 of the bed and steals all the blankets. Darius has an emergency blanket stashed so he doesnt get cold while all his blankets are stolen.
They say "I love you" alot, like rival Yasammy level of alot.
They are each other's person. Partner-in-crime, their I Love Yous are very much a reflection of now their soulmates.
Darius's I Love Yous reflect how much he values her presence, how he values the adventure she brings into his life, how he loves and appreciates their time together, how she accepts his love for her even though his love is different.
Brooklynn's I Love Yous reflect her romantic and platonic love for Darius, how hes always been a reliable pillar, her rock, her dino nerd. How hes always there for her like a shadow. How she appreciates how he keeps her grounded.
Brooklynn loves kids, shes #1 Aunt, but she doesnt want kids of her own, shes got serious pregnancy phobias and genuinely goes through a long phase where she thinks she'd be an awful mom.
Darius thinks about kids first, but genuinely has his own dislikes of the kid making process, but as he and Brooklynn get older and settle down more permanently between their few homes around the rest of the N6 he thinks about becoming foster parents.
Brooklynn is very open with Darius about her fears regarding motherhood, but after seeing Yasammy go though the adoption process with their oldest she sees the value in helping children in need.
Brooklynn becomes an advocate for mental health and disabilities, specifically children's mental health and works at lot with Yaz to help advocate for children's mental health programs.
it coincidentally boosts her confidence in her and Darius being foster parents because "some of these people are really shit at this, D we could totally do better."
They decide to get married because why not but also "the tax benefits, Darius!" They're the last pair in the N6 to get married.
Brooklynn officially asks Darius to marry her at the natural history museum during one of their work trips. She proposed in front of the T-Rex skeleton. Darius loved it.
Its a small custom ceremony. Close Family and the N6 only.
Brooklynn has Ben and Sammy on her side, Darius has Kenji and Yaz.
They dont have official wedding colors, but they do a lot of yellow (Brooklynn's favorite color) and Green (Darius's pick) with accents of Lavender (Brooklynn makes jokes about how this is a Lavender wedding. Its not but let her have the joke)
Darius wears a white suit with a Lavender tie and yellow pocket square.
Brooklynn wears a white dress to match Darius, her bouquet is a mix of yellow flowers and lavender.
The wedding party wears dark emerald green with Lavender accents.
They do a "honeymoon" trip to Japan. Yes they go to to Robot Dinosaur hotel for their honeymoon.
They spend two days in Fukui for the dinosaur museum and Park.
they spend six days in Osaka (Universal Studios Japan with Dinosaur park + Dinosaur Hotel, they also explore a lot of the local food)
they do a day trip to Nara to see the bowing deer (Darius bows back at them a lot, Brooklynn has a video on her phone of Darius surrounded by deer as he hands out treats to them and bowing back.)
They spend three days in Hakone to visit the hot springs. This is one of Brooklynn's favorite parts of the trip, the hot water and different baths are up her ally.
They do visit a shrine and pick up charms for the rest of the N6 they spend a lot of time picking out the perfect charms. Ben gets a charm for good health, Kenji gets succsess in business, Yaz gets good luck/fortune, and Sammy gets avoidance of evil. They also pick up safety and well-being of the whole family charms for their parents and Brand.
They get involved with fostering and go through the steps to become foster parents.
It's tricky they get a lot of support from their camp fam.
I cant decide if they'd end up adopting one or two of the kids. But I think they'd eventually adopt.
